Looking for book recommendations? While visiting, Jason asked for recommendations for good sf/f. He mentioned that he liked Dan Simmons'
Hyperion and Guy Gavriel Kay. I immediately dragged a whole bunch of books off my shelf for him to look at -- I thought some of you might be interested too. These are all really worth a read, in my opinion:
- Peter S. Beagle, The Rhinoceros Who Quoted Nietzsche (short stories)
- Francesca Lia Block, Weetzie Bat
- Octavia E. Butler, Dawn (start of trilogy)
- Jonathan Carroll, The Marriage of Sticks
- Pamela Dean, Tam Lin
- Carol Emshwiller, The Start of the End of It All (short stories)
- Molly Gloss, The Dazzle of Day
- Lisa Goldstein, The Red Magician
- Barbara Hambly, Dragonsbane
- Nina Kiriki Hoffman, A Red Heart of Memories
- Nalo Hopkinson, Midnight Robber
- Barry Hughart, Bridge of Birds
- Kij Johnson, The Fox Woman
- Ellen Kushner, Swordspoint
- Kelly Link, Stranger Things Happen (short stories)
- Patricia A. McKillip, The Riddle-Master of Hed (start of trilogy)
- Patricia A. McKillip, The Tower at Stony Wood (stand-alone)
- Joanna Russ, The Female Man
- Mary Doria Russell, The Sparrow
- Connie Willis, Doomsday Book
